Hi,
Is there anyway around this (because it sounds really annoying !)
It is annoying, but only mildly so. You can still continue playing the reloaded game at the higher level. Just so we're on the same page, let me go into boring detail ;)
1) You start a multiplayer game of Diablo at the level (nightmare or hell) you want your single player game to be on.
2) You *exit* the multiplayer game using the "New Game" option. You do not quit the Diablo program.
3) You use the cancel buttons to back up to the screen that gives you the choice of playing single player.
4) You then start *or* load a single player game. That game will be of the same difficulty level of the last multi-player game of this Diablo session.
So, two things: if you save a game and then load it during the same session, it will continue to be at the same level. If you save a game in one session, then quit Diablo, you just go through the same four steps above to set it to the same level as when you quit.
Also, if you want to change level for single player anytime in a session, simply go through the same four steps.
In "programeese", there apparently is a flag giving the difficulty level. It is set at "normal" when the game starts. The single player game does not change this flag. The multiplayer game does. All you are doing when using the above four steps is setting that flag to a different value.
I hope this clarified the issue.
